About

  • K-type thermocouple - Accuracy readings are written in % + xD. % is self-explanatory, the xD is x of the least significant digit. For example, in a reading of 12.3, +/- 4D means 12.3 +/- 0.4. See example at [1]
  • Thermistor - NTC type - [2]
  • Thermocouple typically has standard plugs - [3]

Sourcing

  • Multimeter with good T reading according to one review [4]
  • Seems to be good to +/- 1.5C at all ranges [5],
  • $20 without probes, manual says k-type is 1% accurate [6]
